Time for St. Louis to call Oswalt

No, it's NOT time to call Oswalt. Plan B is already in place

Oswalt may get his asking price after all.

So the solution to Carpenter with a neck problem is Oswalt with a back problem? Yea...

I agree. I'm comfortable with Lynn, and K-Mac is a decent backup plan as a 5th starter. They have no need to panic by throwing a new offer at Roy.

I'd still like the Tigers to kick the tires on this guy.

How much is Oswalt going to cost?

Whew, I thought you said K-Mark, I thought you might be hitting the bottle or a crack pipe or something. Oswalt is the next rent an arm, may be a plus or minus, but probably not a huge impact, especially for what he'd command.

"Time for St. Louis to call Oswalt"

Why? do they need the # of a good back specialist?

Nope ... In Lynn we trust.

Oswalt must come "out of the closet" about his ulnar issue and some GM will make him an offer.

He won't command much as evidenced by the fact that he's not on a team right now, anybody (looks in Yankees direction:) that throws huge money at this once good but now dilapidated pitcher is going to have a very poor ROI.

Don't look at my team, your team had him last year, you resign him. I got Pettite to worry about.

Lynn is still untested....big risk. Why get too far behind in the standings before pulling the trigger. Remember the WS last year was all based on an INCREDIBLE run....not a full season of superlative baseball. New manager.....no Albert? And you're going to test the fans with this? Think twice Mr. Mozaliak.

He wanted 10+MM for a year

On a similar topic - who believe Johnny Damon gets signed before openning day?

the cards do have another option, even better than Oswalt, the birds should trade for the top solid and conssistant pitcher, james shields from the rays, the cards would and could have a tough rotation, only IF they really wanted!!!!

Oswalt should be the plan C, but the cards should act wisely when the need of a quality starter its in demand!!

the rays have plenty good pitching arms, all what the cards have to do its,, trade some good prospects to the rays and the team's rotation should be secure for the whole season!!!
